Icarus Nears Completion + Halloween Goodies

I finally started binding off for Icarus last night. Here's how far I got before I had to admit defeat and go to bed.

Icarus - The Bind-off Begins

That's probably 1/6 bound off, and took 30-40 minutes. I'll be catching up on some podcasts binding off tonight. Look for a finished photo shoot Thursday or Friday. Even if I get it pinned out tonight, there won't be enough light for photos after school tomorrow.

Today's real excitement though was getting my annual Halloween Goodie Bag from Tammy. Check it out.

Goodie Bag

I fully intend on coloring this bag. It will be awesome. Like 100,000,000 hot dogs.

Halloween Booty

The booty. Candy, stickers, spider ring, and one item that needs a close up.

Lightning Worms

Yep, you read that right. Light up candy. Seriously, WTF? The package admonishes me not to point the light into my eyes (darn) or put the tongs into water (double darn). They don't want you to have any fun.

I don't know if I mentioned it here or not, but my roommate and I are having a Halloween party this weekend. While hunting around for decorations I found this site of pumpkin templates. I love pumpkin templates, as I'm not a very good drawer, but I can follow a pattern like nobody's business. I think I'll need to pick up a few pumpkins this week to carve for Saturday. Anyone want to volunteer to carve with me? I'm thinking Thursday or Friday afternoon/evening.

Oh, you'll be positively smug once Icarus is blocked out!!!! I'm sooooo happy for you!

Binding off always seems so anti-climatic to me. So boring . . . Good luck sticking it out!

You'll have to let me know how the pumpkin templates turn out. I too have no drawing skills, and so pumpkin carving has always frustrated me.

Congrats on the Icarus. It looks beautiful.

The light up candy is fun. My daughter collects them. The light is in the tongs. She has light up pumpkin candy for Halloween.
